1. You can use as a stand alone THC in Plasma or Oxy-Fuel Cutter applications

2. Together with voltage controlled THC as a IHS (Initial Height Sensor), and Capacitive  Limit Switch in Plasma Cutter applications.

 

Connection:

Sensor connection made via parallel port and requires 2 inputs only.

1. You can use THC UP and THC DOWN inputs for controlling the height by capacitive sensing.

2. Or connect Cap01 Down Output as a floating switch and Up Output as a  – Z limit switch in voltage controlled height sensing  applications

Configuration:

Config>Ports&Pins>Input Signal>enable Torch On and Torch Up and Torch Down

Macro:

You need simple macro for M3 (or M03) command . It could be easily edit or create in VB editor or simply copy and paste.
